Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake generated in cold, icy regions. First discovered in the northern ...
The Doomsday Glacier is at the center of a striking new discovery hidden deep under Antarctica’s frozen edge. For the first time, scientists have found hundreds of special earthquakes at some of the ...
Antarctica’s so-called Doomsday Glacier, nicknamed because it is huge and coming apart, is mostly thwarting an international effort to figure out how dangerously vulnerable it is. A large iceberg ...
A satellite view of the iceberg. The newly escaped B-22A iceberg is circled in red. An enormous iceberg that first broke off Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" more than 20 years ago is finally waving ...
In 2017, astrophysicists at the European Space Agency spotted something disturbing among satellite data collected by the agency's Copernicus mission: A Las Vegas-sized iceberg was breaking off the ...
A story about a glacier shedding mass at the edge of the world, threatening to raise ocean levels and potentially contribute to untold environmental change. Sound familiar? That’s because it probably ...
WASHINGTON - An iceberg twice the size of Manhattan tore off one of Greenland's largest glaciers, illustrating another dramatic change to the warming island. For several years, scientists had been ...
To estimate the amount of ice sloughing off glaciers and falling into rising seas, scientists may simply need to listen. New research finds that sound recordings can not only capture the timing of ...
A massive iceberg larger than Manhattan has broken away from the floating end of a Greenland glacier this week, an event scientists predicted last autumn. The giant ice island is 46 square miles (120 ...
In a new study soon to be published in Geophysical Research Letters, I present evidence for hundreds of these quakes in ...
